Football's governing body chose Morocco, Spain and Portugal to host the 2030 men's FIFA World Cup – and Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay to hold three opening matches – making it the first to be held across three continents.
That will make for a 100th anniversary celebration in Uruguay, site of the first World Cup, FIFA announced on Wednesday. Teams from each of the six host nations will automatically qualify to compete. The FIFA Council's decision requires formal approval next year from 211 member federations.
